  1. A misleading translation/title because “maternity clinic” seems to be a translation of 산부인과 which is actually OB/GYN clinics. Most of them do not deliver babies and just do gynecologist stuff. So the 1/10 statistics is very much exaggerated.

    If you’re pregnant and in Korea, always search for a “분만 산부인과” near you because they’re the ones capable of delivering a baby: [momshospital.com](http://momshospital.com)

  2. I recently started wondering how the apartment culture (as opposed to house culture) in Korea contributes to the issue. I hope they make future apartments more friendly for families with multiple kids.

  3. I also wonder how much our childless president and his wife contribute to the trend of having no kids. Mr. President, please set a good example and have some kids.
